SLC was made for a contest on Metroid Construction. (Summer Fun Contest) The idea is to make a hack based on the theme of Summer, and otherwise there were no restrictions other than it had to be finished by September 2nd.

Earlier versions of this suffered from permastucks and enemies with unfair damage/health. Those issues were eventually sorted out, and the resulting product is pretty decent.

Things to be wary of: the angry sun is a HUGE jerk, there's a bunch of traps designed to frustrate you, the map is slightly buggy, and a lot of it feels rough around the edges (the time constraint definitely hurt).

On the positive side, the ripped graphics look nice, the level design makes good use of the major upgrades, there's a ton of secrets and most of them are cleverly hinted, and there's an epic custom boss fight.

The ripped graphics from SM All Stars was really nice and well done. There are plenty of secrets to find, as well as a new song used as a boss theme to go along with a custom boss.

Only things I disliked about the hack is how easy it is to get lost during a first playthrough. Also the map has some bugs, and the sun is a very hard thing to avoid. Never the less, still a fun hack, and the pyramid/desert theme is consistent throughout the entire hack.
